Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer
The Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer has a top speed of 175 km/h (estimated), produces 55 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Moto Guzzi V9 Roamer werd in 2016 geïntroduceerd naast zijn broer, de V9 Bobber, die beide zijn gebouwd op een nieuw 853cc V-twin-platform met een klein blok dat is ontworpen om een meer toegankelijke, lichtgewicht cruiser aan de Guzzi-reeks toe te voegen. De Roamer heeft een meer klassieke stijl van café en cruiser dan de chopper-esthetiek van de Bobber, met een langere wielbasis en een meer rechtopstaande ergonomie die geschikt is voor op reis. Hij wordt geroemd om zijn karakteristieke transversale V-twin-motor, betrouwbaarheid van de asaandrijving en authentiek Italiaans vakmanschap, waardoor het een opmerkelijk instapmodel is in het moderne assortiment van Moto Guzzi.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Watch the Bevel Gears
The V9 Roamer uses a shaft drive with bevel gears that require periodic oil changes — neglected maintenance can lead to costly repairs. Always verify service history before buying used.
Steady Resale Value
Moto Guzzi V9s hold their value reasonably well due to low production numbers and strong brand loyalty among enthusiasts. Expect used models to retain around 70-80% of value after two to three years.
Iconic Transverse V-Twin
The 853cc air-cooled transverse V-twin engine provides a distinctly characterful riding experience with strong low-end torque, but air-cooling means it can run hot in slow city traffic.

Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"A slow bike you'll ride fast just for the feeling."
$6,500-$9,500 usedThe V9 Roamer is one of those bikes that makes zero sense on paper but total sense the moment you twist the throttle. That 853cc transverse V-twin pulls from nothing, burbles through town like it owns the place, and the whole package just feels deliberately, unapologetically Italian. It's not fast. It doesn't need to be. What it does is make every 40mph back road feel like an event worth remembering. Buying used, check the bevel drive for play and inspect the shaft drive output — they're generally bulletproof but neglected examples can surprise you. Early models had some fueling hesitation at low revs that dealer software updates usually sorted. Service intervals are generous at 6,000 miles but Guzzi specialists aren't on every corner, so budget for that. Ergonomics suit medium-height riders well; taller riders report cramping after two hours. This bike won't win drag races or carve canyons like a sportsbike. What it will do is make you smile every single time you ride it, and that's not nothing.
